The Uk is so slow on coming to terms with the fact that Cannabis can be legalised and it can be done well and it can in fact bring money into the economy!
Cannabis is seen as everybody does it drug, it is everywhere and the fact is hard nosed criminals with weapons (county lines) drug dealers are selling this putting out residents in danger. So yes I do think the government needs to speed looking at other countries who have successful decriminalised Cannabis and indeed that of Portugal.
